aNML Parties
​Let’s start with the name: aNML stands for A Non-Monogamous Lifestyle
​
— and yes, that’s intentionally broad. We believe non-monogamy isn’t a one-size-fits-all experience. Whether you identify as a swinger, polyamorous, open, monogamish, or you’re still exploring what ethical non-monogamy means for you, you're welcome here. aNML is a space that embraces the full spectrum of connection, curiosity, and consensual play.
​
Our mission is to build a vibrant, sex-positive community in Charleston where people in the lifestyle can connect, celebrate, and feel safe being themselves. Whether you're new and curious, seasoned and adventurous, or somewhere in between, we’re creating events that feel exciting, inclusive, and drama-free.

FREQUENTLY ASKED aNML QUESTIONS
Your full attention please!
Welcome! We enjoy meeting first-time newcomers and those experienced aNMLs (Non-Monogamous Lifestylers)
​
During the the dance party or play portions of the night you might notice that some people ease into play quickly—that’s just part of the exciting, sexy energy of the night. But remember, there’s NO rush and NO pressure. Some people choose to simply watch and soak it all in, while others may feel ready to play. Wherever you land on that spectrum is perfect. Go at your own pace, do what feels right for you.
And most of all—enjoy the experience.
We’re so glad you’re here!

aNML THOUGHTS
AWARENESS
Feel the room before you act in it. Energy speaks — listen first.
ATTRACTION
Flirt slowly. Chemistry grows when it’s allowed space to breathe.
ATTRACTION
Consent is continuous. Boundaries are not obstacles — they’re invitations to trust.
INDULGENCE
When the moment feels right, lean in. Let go. The night will meet you there.

Q & A
1. What is aNML Parties about?
We’re a community for individuals and couples exploring or living a non-monogamous lifestyle. Our events create a safe, sexy, and social space for both newcomers and seasoned veterans to connect, flirt, and explore consensually.
​
2. Who can attend?
We welcome respectful adults (21+) — including couples and approved single attendees — who value consent, communication, and mature social interaction.
Single Member Policy (Men & Women)
-
To maintain a balanced, respectful, and enjoyable atmosphere, aNML Parties limits and vets all single attendees — both men and women. Single men and single women are each capped at approximately 10% of total attendance and are admitted by approval only.
-
Single members can play an important role in the social and intimate flow of the event. When well-vetted, their presence enhances organic connections and couple-led dynamics without overwhelming the space.
-
All single attendees are screened for maturity, consent awareness, and social etiquette to ensure couples feel comfortable, respected, and never outnumbered.​
​
3. What are your core values?
Consent, communication, and respect are the heartbeat of aNML. Always ask before touching, honor boundaries, and accept “no” without pressure or negotiation.
4. What is your policy on joining in play?
If play is already in motion, do not interrupt. Only join if you are clearly and directly invited. Unsolicited interruptions are not tolerated and may result in removal from the event.
5. Do I need to be experienced?
Not at all. We welcome every level of curiosity — from your first lifestyle experience to long-time veterans. Come as you are and move at your own pace.
6. What kinds of events do you host?
aNML Parties produces curated, adults-only experiences ranging from social mixers and meet-and-greets to large-scale lifestyle events with dedicated play spaces, music, and immersive atmosphere.
7. How do tickets and wristbands work?
All guests receive an attendance wristband upon check-in. This wristband confirms entry to the event and must be worn at all times.
In addition, guests may choose to wear a separate colored wristband to communicate their current level of interest in social or intimate interaction. These wristbands are optional and may be changed at any time during the event.
Wristband colors are a communication tool — not an invitation — and must always be respected.
8. What do the colored wristbands mean?
Colored wristbands are used to help guests communicate their current comfort level or interests without awkward conversations. Meanings are clearly posted at the event and may include:
-
Green — Open to play / connection
-
Yellow — Slow, cautious, or conversational only
-
Red — Not open to play at this time
-
White — Social only / not playing
-
Purple — Open to femme/femme connections
These bands help support consent, not replace it. Always ask and never assume.
9. What happens if someone violates the rules?
Community safety is taken very seriously. Anyone who violates consent or etiquette policies may be warned, removed, or permanently banned. Trained security is always present to support guests and enforce rules.
